K-B Ranch Natural Beef 2362 St. Rt. O Higbee, MO. 65257 816-248-5201 [log in to unmask] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sun, 2 Jun 1996 21:09:49 -0500 (CDT) From: Robert J. Cessac <[log in to unmask]> To: Discussion of Bee Biology <[log in to unmask]> Subject: red clover I am new to bee keeping and have a ranch with a fair amount of red clover in my pastures plus white clover. I have herd conflicting information on pollination of red clover by honey bees. Can someone give me the straight scoop wether honey bees pollinate and obtain nector from red clover? One says they get nector and pollinate only the later flowers in summer. Or is it they only pollinate and not get nector? Thanks Robert Cessac
